I just wanted to recount my recent first experience with ordering a custom blend from Yarnia, in Portland, Oregon. I excitedly made up a couple of experimental blends to play around with. When they arrived, one was lovely, but the other, which I had intended to be fairly tonal and heathery was, well …. more like clown barf.

This was all due to one strand of the mix being a much brighter and deeper shade than I had thought. Since the other colours all seemed a good match for what I saw on my monitor, I dropped them a note to say that maybe they should check that. Since I’d only ordered minimal sized cones to experiment with, I wasn’t out much money, so I didn’t bother to ask for a replacement.

Sure enough – they didn’t offer me one, and instead sent me a reply saying they thought the yarn was as shown, but would look into it. (Fair enough!) Much to my surprise, a few days later, they were in touch again to say that actually, the colour was wrong and would I like a new cone of yarn substituting a different colour for the problematic one!

I am very pleased with the replacement, but more than that I’m impressed that they still remembered my little problem a week later and when they noticed the yarn was wrong were so willing to do something about it. Although I’m still getting to grips with knitting with their “funny” un-plied yarn, this has totally made the difference between me buying from them again, or not.
